1858 Novopoltavka, Kherson, Russian Empire Revision List

• Yosel brother of Girsh Blekher (head of household) age 34 with a family consisting of
  • Khana, age 33 (sister-in-law of Girsh Blekher), wife of Yosel
  • Beila, age 16 (niece of Girsh Blekher)
  • Mirka, age 13
  • Basya, age 5
  • Altor, age 3

Girsh Blekher is the head of the household registered in Novopoltavka and is son of Leib, brother to Yosel, so we know that Yosel Blekher's father's name was Leib.

Girsh was born in 1805 so would have been the Girsh in the 1843 signatory list below. Yosel would not have been old enough to have his own household in 1843.
